Sorry about the red. I am new to the whole blogging thing and i tried to delete it and do it over but as you can see it doubled up instead. Anyway...I have the current Absinthe that I have downloaded and deleted 3 times from 3 different sites. I have reset the settings on the phone. Do I need to restore the entire phone? When I tried to do that it started downloading an update through apple. Will the update make a difference with the jailbreak? I even tried the redsnow and that kept giving me an error. I'm so frustrated! Thanks for all the suggestions and help.

Would it make a difference if I chose to Update right away instead of the Restore option?

Also, would the results be different using redsn0w than absinthe2?

Thanks

if you choose the Update function, your phone may randomly crash, reboot, etc.

this has to due with the phone previously being jailbroken, and by clicking the update feature, itunes will/may overwrite some of those files used in the jailbreak process that is currently stored in the iOS system

it is BEST that you do a Restore, then jailbreak again using either absinthe or redsn0w, no difference

I have Iphone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 I used absinthe to jailbreak it, all was well, now I can't use data unless I use wifi, and I can't access MMS at all, I have been all over the internet searching and found 1000's of diff ways tried a few, no success with any of it. Anybody know how to fix this? Plz help! I am new to this forum but from all the ones I have looked at it seemed to have the most up to date & reliable info so far..thanks

Oh probaby should have told you that this was an AT&T phone now I have switched it over to a Straight Talk phone by using a sim card from straight talk..

Here are two errors I am getting inside of Cydia whenever I try to install a program
1. Subprocess post-instalation script returned error exit status 255
2. Subprocess/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any idea what that means? It will not let anything install completely, I have downloaded it from Greenpoinson.com and a couple other sites thinking the download was bad, but couldn't be from that many diff sites....I need help & lots of it!!!

Install TetherMe from Cydia and you can go into the Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Settings Menu and Edit them as below:

Once I activated cydia half of the applications on my first page disappeared; settings, messages, safari, phone, contacts, voicemail and more. I did back up the phone but none of them are coming back. I can call the phone and the contact shows. I can also send it a message and the message will show but if I try to open it I get a message "URL wasn't loaded" what does this mean and how do I fix it? I need this fixed asap!

Ohh and my phone is iphone 4, carrier sprint. I don't want to have to but if I can't figure out something soon I will have restore the factory settings.

I didn't bother reading thru all 22 pages, but I just had my iPhone 4 unlocked by AT&T and had to restore. I go to jailbreak with Absinthe, and the app didn't launch on my Mac. Apparently, Absinthe doesn't "run" on Mountain Lion. A quick search and all is well now.

Right click on the Absinthe icon and select “Show Package Contents”.

Navigate to the Contents/MacOS folder and right click on Absinthe 10.6 and select Open With…Terminal.

This will invoke the GUI interface of Absinthe, and you can now proceed with the jailbreak outlined in our iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak tutorial.

I dont believe a jailbreak for 5.1 on the iphone 4s was ever released, I know it was released for 5.0.1 and 5.1.1, but dont think so for 5.1
